~Meg's P.o.V.~
I yawned, staring at the ceiling of mine and Jack's bedroom. The day before had been his hearing for the supposed 'rape and assault'...all we knew was the girl's initials were K.Y. and that she decided to drop all charges. She wasn't there and we were fine with that, I wanted more then anything to punch her down to a pulp for what she pulled. But at the same time, I was glad I hadn't seen her at all. Jack was peacefully asleep, oblivious to the world around him as he slept so soundly. That was the way it should always be.
I listened to him breathe in his sleep and smiled slightly to myself, I loved summers. It would be my last summer like this, it seemed, since I had graduated and everything. But for now...I rolled over and poked Jack lightly,"It's 11 in the morning, wake up love..." I whispered. He groaned and opened one of his eyes, pulling me close and kissing me. "Ye are wearing me shirt again, love..." he mumbled, still half asleep. "I'm lazy again, I decided..." I replied, kissing him softly. He smiled, pulling off the shirt,"Well...just be lazy all day with me, love..." he said. I smiled, snuggling close, wanting to fall asleep again."Bleh, love, the time...we're late..." I mumbled suddenly, jumping to fully awake. Sure, it was summer, the summer of being a graduated senoir. I should've gone on road trips...but it was job time! I pulled some jeans and my black Murder Thy Maker band t-shirt on, while brushing my hair and slipping on shoes at the same time as putting on black eyeliner. Jack stared at me with an odd look on his face. "Shut up..." I said. He smirked,"Haven't said anything yet, love," he said, jumping out of bed. "You were thinking it," I replied, finishing with the eyeliner and throwing it randomly somewhere...I would have to find it all over again tomorrow, but meh, who cared. He smirked, slipping on a shirt and pants,"Reading me thoughts, love?" he asked, kissing me. I smiled, kissing back,"Of course, love, of course..." I glanced at the clock,"And...right now I'm hoping you're thinking we really have to go, because we're running late...by about ten minutes, shit..." I said. He groaned lightly and grabbed the keys, pushing me out the door, then the phone rang. "Bleh, love let me get it!" I said. He shook his head,"Nope, you read my mind again, get out the door!" he said, pushing me towards the door. The answer machine beeped on and I heard,"Meg, it's K--" and the door got slammed shut. "In the car, we are fifteen minutes late, love!" Jack said, opening my door. "Bleh, fine..." I muttered. So it was off to work, yay job time...oh joy. Jack dropped me off at McDonald's...yes, I got to work at McDonald's! He worked at The Tavern in the mall so that's where I walked when my shift ended. By now, I really wanted to get home, it was 5 PM by the time I ran to the mall, Jack took me out to dinner and then...it was 7 when we finally got home. Our answering machine had about...
"Seven new messages..." the little voice said. I perked a brow and sat down to listen. "Meg, it's Kim...Max is in the hospital, Gods, you can't have left for work already...please answer Meg!" I gripped my chair a bit. "Meg, it's Sarah...I'm so sorry Meg, please come, Max is in the hospital, Meg!" My breathing got heavy,"Jack!" I yelled as the third message came on. He walked into the room. "Meg, it's Kim again, she's not waking up, Meg...Gods, fucking answer!" He sat down beside me looking a bit confused as the fourth message came on. "...it's Sarah again...please answer Meg...we...we all need you here...we're at the hospital...Max...still won't wake..." I put my head on Jack's shoulder, the fifth message came on. "It's Kim...shit, the doctor's are coming to tell us something else...hurry and come..." Jack stroked my hair, the sixth message. "...it's Sarah...she..." the recording of Sarah started crying,"...she over dosed, Meg..." Jack got ready to leave again while I listened to the last message,"It's Kim...Meg we all need you...she's in a coma, completely knocked out...she has a lot of alcohol and drugs in her...remember what we used to say, there's no such thing as too much rum...there is...please come Meg..." I jumped up and took the keys from Jack and ran to the car with him. Halfway there I was freaking out so much I pulled over and let him drive. I curled up into a ball in the passenger seat, thoughts crossing my mind,'What if I never say sorry for what happened...what if she never wakes up...' I cried silently and waited until we got there. It seemed to last forever and our cell phone kept on ringing. Jack kept on answering and saying we were coming and rubbing my back comfortingly...'...there's no such thing as too much rum...wake up...' I thought,'She'll be fine...she...has a good alcohol tolerance...better then Jack...right...?' I was trying to convince myself so much...but I continued crying the whole, long lasting trip to the hospital...
Jack finally stopped the car and opened my door, walking with me to the door. We followed Kim's earlier instructions she had given Jack. Up to the 5th floor...ICU...intensive care unit. The elevator doors opened and we saw Kim, Kaiba, Will and Sarah all sitting in the lobby. Kim and Sarah's eyes were red from crying and Will and Kaiba were staring into space, their hands holding their wives' hands. InuYasha was standing up, his eyes lowered while he paced around. I started crying and Kim and Sarah stood up and hugged me,"What happened...?" I asked. "She o/d'd on codeine and perc...and she has a lot of alcohol in her...twice as much as what would give a guy twice her size a seizure...that's what they told us..." Kim said, quickly in a whisper. Sarah was crying a lot agin. I crumbled into a chair,"...W-why...would she do this..." I asked, looking up. InuYasha stopped pacing, his back to us. "She's been poppint pills a drinking a lot...I didn't realize...until I found her on the floor today...she was long passed out by the time I got home..." he said. His face was a deathly looking pale. Jack coughed lightly, sitting down beside me. "Then...we'll wait here until she wakes up..." he said. So we all sat in silence, staring into space. All of us having the same thing on our minds...what if she never woke up?
